I've implemented the suggestions in "new warnings policy".   It probably DID 
catch a few bugs which have probably been in there for years.  It wasn't as 
bad as I thought - mostly tedium and a few hours of testing.  But now I have 
a couple of questions:

a) I added

<toolset>gcc:<warnings>all # ?
<toolset>msvc:<warnings>all # == /W4

To my jamfile.

With MSVC 9.0 I now get a blizzard of "deprecation" and "unsafe" warnings. 
If the policy is updated to address this, I will implement the 
recommendations.

PS

I'm wondering if I should replace the above with something which maximizes 
the warning level for all compiles.  Perhaps just
<warnings>all #?
